Colophon is an offline study Bible built on one idea: there are older words under your English. Read the King James Version (KJV), Berean Standard Bible (BSB) and World English Bible (WEB) offline. No account, no feed, no ads. Keep your notes and highlights on your device. INCLUDED WITHOUT A PURCHASE • All three Bible translations, fully offline • Scripture search, notes, highlights, bookmarks, tags and Markdown note export • The plain reading page, with your device's text size • Word of the Day widget: an English headword and verse reference COLOPHON PRO — ONE-TIME IN-APP PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION The following featured tools require Colophon Pro: • Word Study: tap tagged words in KJV or BSB for the Greek or Hebrew behind them — Strong's entries, Abbott-Smith (Greek) and Brown–Driver–Briggs (Hebrew) entries where available, roots and word families, translation renderings and occurrences. Resize the study sheet while keeping the text above it. WEB has no word tagging; open the same verse in KJV or BSB to study its words. • Lexicon search: English, Strong's number, transliteration, Greek or Hebrew • Cross references: ranked connections between Bible passages • Your Words: a local history of the words you have studied • Listen: BSB narration by Barry Hays, downloaded per book from GitHub and kept for offline playback. KJV and WEB use your device's speech voice. The page follows the reading. • Word of the Day widget: Greek or Hebrew, transliteration and a link into Word Study; verse text on supported larger widgets • Study Desk: compare two translations, verse by verse; side by side on wider screens • Notebooks and backlinks, print-ready PDF Study Sheets, and note import from Markdown or CSV • Backup & Restore: your study in a portable file you control • Additional reading backgrounds and the in-app text-size control. Previously retained background and text-size choices remain available to eligible existing readers; word study has no such exception. YOUR STUDY, ON YOUR DEVICE Notes, highlights and word history stay on your device unless you export them. Colophon runs no servers and includes no analytics or advertising SDK. Optional BSB audio downloads contact GitHub, which can see your IP address and requested files. During continuous listening, the next book can download automatically. Installed speech voices work on your device. Purchases are handled by the App Store. The texts and study sources are public-domain or openly licensed, with credits in the app. The words under the words.
